On Thursday, thousands of Niger State residents flocked to welcome Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, his running mate.
 
This occurs following the state rally for the party's presidential campaign.
 
The rally took place at the Minnesota Polo Grounds.
 
Residents of the state carried out the same thing on Wednesday in Kaduna State, where the Labour Party saw a huge turnout. This was in contrast to the claims made by the State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, who claimed that Obi would not have more than 200 people at his campaign site in the state.
